"Are you feeling troubled, brother?"
Little Doudou moved closer to Chen Mo, his eyes wide and unblinking as he stared at him.
While Chen Mo was talking to Gu Shan, she noticed the worry in his eyes.
Little Doudou remembers that three hundred years ago, Chen Mo had such an expression the night before he died.
At that time, she was too young to see through the signs, she just felt that her brother was different from usual. But now she has grown up, and of course, she can read people's emotions.
Thinking about this, Little Doudou's heart suddenly tightened, worried that the same thing would happen.
"Brother, if you have something on your mind, tell little Doudou. I know I'm not very strong, but... but I also want to help you."
Little Doudou looked sincerely.
Chen Mo also noticed Little Doudou's worry and smiled gently, patting her head softly, "Don't worry, nowadays, we are no longer what we were before. I can handle everything. We won't make the same mistake again."
"Is that true?"
Little Doudou blinked her eyes, still somewhat skeptical, after all, he had also said the same thing back then.
Chen Mo remained silent, continuing to gently stroke her head, making her feel at ease.
This trick was indeed more effective than explanation. In an instant, the worried Little Doudou felt reassured, her eyelids lifted slightly then slowly lowered, a wave of fatigue washing over her.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, suddenly, Little Doudou's eyes opened wide.
Chen Mo's eyebrow twitched, at this moment, he could also sense a bit of abnormality.
"Brother, someone is coming, and there are quite a few of them."
Little Doudou gently pushed away Chen Mo, reached into her small bag, and black mist emerged from it, followed by several crawling insects in front of her.
"What's your strength?"
Chen Mo asked further.
"It's not a problem."
Little Doudou gently waved her hand and moved her slender fingers in the bag.
At the same time, outside the dilapidated temple, dozens of black figures were approaching at the fastest speed.
Miao Feiyu, stationed at the door, closed his eyes to pretend to sleep, but the noise from the wind and snow soon caught his attention.
Miao Feiyu jumped up, scanning the shadowy figures in the snowy night, "Get lost or die."
With a fierce shout, the sound echoed in the snow, landing on each black-cloaked person's ears. However, they showed no sign of retreating; instead, they charged forward at a quick pace, their intent to kill thick in the air.
"Want to die?"
Miao Feiyu summoned a magic staff, his eyes blazing with fury, and with a swing of the staff, the raging wind suddenly ceased.
However, just as his whirlwind began to pick up, the people charging through the snowland one after another collapsed without any warning, as if their lives and deaths were already controlled by someone else.
Blood oozed from their mouths and noses, staining the snow red.
Miao Feiyu was taken aback and looked back at the dilapidated temple, guessing who the culprit was in an instant.
"Indeed, she's a real little witch..."
Miao Feiyu sighed in admiration, the worry in his heart disappeared immediately, and he put away his magic staff, ready to sit down and continue resting. Suddenly, the wind and snow in the sky stopped.
A figure as bright as the sun zoomed down from the sky.
"This is..."
Miao Feiyu widened his eyes in shock, just as he was still reacting, he saw a giant fireball flying towards him suddenly.
"Such strong aura."
Little Doudou immediately sprang up from the ground, her willow eyebrows arched, and her expression instantly turned cold.
Muran Qiu didn't sleep too deeply. When Little Doudou crawled into the quilt, she felt the disturbance and had been secretly listening to the conversation.
Although she didn't have the same ability to control a large number of insects to investigate like Little Doudou, she sensed something amiss at this moment and jumped up as well.
"The temperature, it's increased a lot."
Chen Mo's brow slightly furrowed, "Could it be..."
"Fire Cloud Elder."
Little Doudou's insects were hidden in the snow, and she had suffered a loss at the hands of the other party before. Now that the Fire Cloud Elder had arrived, she immediately guessed his identity.
Just as she finished speaking, a loud boom suddenly stopped and crashed onto the dilapidated temple, blasting open the entrance.
Afterward, a surge of flames engulfed the entire temple.
Another fiery projectile zoomed down from the sky, smashing open the roof of the dilapidated temple and hurtling towards Chen Mo and the others with great force.
"Blood Demise, Splitting the Sky"
Chen Mo raised his hand and sliced through the descending fireball with a sword, instantly cutting it in two with the surging sword aura.
The sword aura pierced through the air, as if it was going to cut open the incoming Fire Cloud Elder as well.
Seeing this, the Fire Cloud Elder casually slapped his palm, scattering Chen Mo's sword aura.
"I didn't expect that a mere body practitioner like you would have such terrifying power. It's no wonder you are revered as the Ancestor of Dao."
The Fire Cloud Elder stood with his back to Chen Mo, eyes fixated on the group trapped by flames on the ground. A cold smile curved at the corner of his lips.
"Since you know my identity, why do you dare to cause trouble with me?"
"Chen Mo tightly gripped his giant sword, speaking with a serious expression."
The Fire Cloud Elder was a high-ranking expert of the first grade. A casual move from him required Chen Mo to exert all his might to fend off. The previous blow nearly drained all of his qi and blood, and if they were to engage in a fight, he would certainly be at a disadvantage.
"Haha, the title of the Ancestor of Dao is known throughout the world. Because of you, now in the Nine States and even within the Central States, many experts are defecting to Tianmo Sect. It's now impossible for my True Fire Hall to annihilate Tianmo Sect."
"This grudge, I will settle on your shoulders. If you die, I doubt Tianmo Sect will still be as prosperous as it is today."
The Fire Cloud Elder snorted coldly.
"You dare to kill me, don't you fear that the experts of the Nine States will seek revenge on you?"
"Chen Mo is on the rise now. He is no longer someone who only has people standing up for him to speak out."
People who received his guidance at the time have many who have achieved fame and success, and their strength is not to be underestimated.
Their revenge would be something that even a first-grade expert like the Fire Cloud Elder would need to carefully consider.
"I am indeed afraid of revenge, but as long as no one knows that I killed you, everything will be fine."
The Fire Cloud Elder snorted coldly, lightly lifting his hand, and as he did so, layer upon layer of fiery clouds swirled across the dark sky, painting the entire horizon in shades of red, resembling a blood pool.
"Fucking bastard..."
Little Doudou clenched her teeth and staring at the Fire Cloud Elder in the sky with a fierce glare, feeling both angry and helpless.
Earlier in the state of Yuzhou, she had once fought against him. With her insects, it wouldn't be a problem for her to restrain a first-grade expert for a moment and then escape.
However, the current Fire Cloud Elder was proficient in using fire, which is naturally detrimental to insect sorcerers. Even though she was frustrated with him, she had no way to deal with him.
"Hand him over to me."
At this moment, amidst the raging inferno, Miao Feiyu managed to get to his feet.
"He may be a first-grade expert, but as long as I can get his blood, I will have a chance to deal with him as well."
Miao Feiyu coughed lightly, although he was wounded, his wounds were healing rapidly.
"A first-grade expert, it's not easy to reach him. To get his blood, it's difficult."
Chen Mo sighed heavily. This was their only chance, and he could only grit his teeth and drag the giant sword forward.
"Hahaha, you actually have some backbone. You dare to fight me. However, in this world, only one person who is a first-grade expert can defeat me. If you bring him here, maybe I will be afraid of you. But now..."
The Fire Cloud Elder snorted coldly and shuddered when he recalled Zhang Long.
That was the strongest second-grade expert he had ever seen, who could defeat him with just his second-grade strength, making him flee in disgrace. There might not be anyone else in the world with such ability.
Amongst these people, the highest-level cultivator is Little Doudou, who was once under his command and defeated him. It would be easy to kill them all.
"By killing them, not only can I destroy Tianmo Sect, but I can also obtain the promised benefits from those guys. Why not?"
The Fire Cloud Elder snorted coldly, lightly lifting his hand, and suddenly, the swirling fire clouds converged into a massive hand, crashing down on Chen Mo and the others on the ground with great force.
In that moment, it felt like the sky was falling down, and in an instant, it could crush everyone into dust.
However, at this moment, a towering figure suddenly appeared and slashed out a rugged broadsword with great force, splitting the fiery hand in two.
Following closely behind was a massive foot, kicking towards the Fire Cloud Elder's cheek with great force...
